Hello. Some European companies eager to resume work at offices and factories are taking employees' temperatures to identify possible coronavirus carriers. Now privacy regulators are investigating for violations of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, WSJ Pro’s Catherine Stupp reports from Brussels.

Temperature checks raise privacy concerns as Europeans return to offices. European authorities are investigating some companies for potential privacy violations for taking employees’ temperatures as they return to work during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Temperature checks can be part of the tool kit for organizations trying to get workers back into the office safely. Companies test people entering a building with scanners or thermometers and ask potential virus carriers not to enter. But requiring people to be tested—especially if their results are stored—could breach Europe’s privacy laws.

Spain’s data-protection regulator is investigating cases after receiving complaints about temperature checks. France’s privacy authority is investigating a company that is taking people’s temperature and a local government that had been taking temperatures but later stopped. This month, a judge ordered the city of Lisses in northern France to remove thermal cameras from government building entrances after a nonprofit organization filed a complaint.

Rhode Island health-care group settles breach probe for $1 million. Lifespan Health System agreed to pay $1.04 million to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which was investigating a 2017 breach of patient data, GovInfoSecurity reports. A laptop stolen from the non-profit health-care provider contained unencrypted information about more than 20,400 individuals, including their names and medical data, HHS said.

New York-based hospital using paper records after potential security incident. Watertown, N.Y.-based Samaritan Medical Center is working to recover after shutting down computer systems to stop a potential cyber intrusion, WWNY News reports. Disruptions to patient care have been minimal, said Samaritan, which runs clinics and elder-care facilities. The company didn't provide further details about the incident.

Alcohol delivery service breached. Boston-based Drizly Inc., an online liquor and beer delivery company, said customer data was exposed in a cyberattack, TechCrunch reports, citing a letter addressed to customers. As many as 2.5 million accounts were compromised, a Drizly spokesman told the publication. Email addresses, physical locations and dates of birth are among the data involved.
